ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK. REDUCTION IN THE RATE OF DISCOUNT. The Bank of England directors have this morn• ng reduced their rate of discount from 9 to 8 per :ent. This measure was so very generally anticipated hat its announcement led to but little discussion a monetary circles. The public had been enabled very correctly to form their own opinion as to the acsition of the Bank, and therefore of the necessity ) f the authorities to lower their terms for discount ng• For the past three weeks nearly all the large trrivals of gold have found their way into the raults of the establishment, while the amount 5 f specie exported during the same period has been :comparatively trivial, Added to this in creasing strength of the Bank, there has been ita abundant supply of money afloat in the open atEirket, with only a limited demand for accommo dation. There is no doubt that the requirements of the commercial public have been curtailed because they foresaw that the period was approaching Whea ch eaper money would prevail. That they have been right in their conjecture is now certain, and it is satisfactory, at the same time, to be en abled to state that much of the rampant speculation has be en checked, that the failures which have lately t ‘ . 4 ken pla ce h ave acted as a warning to the mercan tile r o — ea 3 ca against i n d u l g i ng t oo f ree l y i n en t er . P ris es, apart f rom their legitimate business. I he eeveral joint stock and private establishments have not, n or 'n was it expected, made any reduction their rate of interest for deposit accounts. A small business has been transacted in discount circles to-day. Th e rate of the open market for t lee months' securities averages 71 per cent. 1.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) CHANTER V. CHANTER. This was an undefended suit of the wife against the husband, praying for a dissolution of marriage, on the ground of cruelty, adultery, and desertion. The parties were married in 1856, and cohabited for some time, when the respondent commenced a series of acts of cruelty, and ultimately deserted his wife, who was left entirely destitute of support. The petitioner stated that after the marriage she went to Dublin with her husband, and then to Cork, where his treatment became very bad, ho having been in the habit of violently assaulting her. He used to strike her with a cane. Their disputes arose in conse quence of differences about money, which ho endeavoured to extort from her. They sep'rated shortly after the mar riage, and she went to Bromley to live. He followed her there and demanded money, which she refused to give him, having barely enough to support herself, and on one occa sion he took off her wedding ring, Ho used to demand her things, and if he required her bonnet ho would have had it. Ho used to ill treat her solely in regard to money matters, and he was not a jealous man, From 1859 to 1563 she did not see her husband, but in the latter year he wanted to be reconciled to her, but she refused to live with him unlesshe provi,led her with a home, which he did not do. She was then living in Sutherland-street, Pimlico, and he remained at the house, but occupied a separate bedroom, In about three or fuur days he went away, and she did not see him until some time afterwards, when ho accosted her in the street. On that occasion he struck her with his cane— frequent act of his—because she would not lean on him and had a basket on her arm, at which he appeared shocked. He also pinched her. She never saw him afterwards, but sho heard that he was confined in Northampton Gaol for some offence which he had committed. He had given her black eyes. She remembered on one occasion his wanting her to take a glass of whisky and water, and his having a bottle of laudanum in his possession, which she and the servant succeeded in getting from him. That was in December 1863. She had not cohabited with her husband since she left him. Witnesses were examined to corroborate the evidence of the petitioner. One, a domestic servant, stated that on one occasion she entered Mrs Chanter's apartment atter the respondent had quitted it, and found her in a state of insen sibility from ill-usage. The learned judge granted a decree nisi. POLICE INTELLIGENCE--This day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COWARDLY ASSAULT ON A FEMALE, —Richard Wil liams, a glass plater, living in Charlton-street, Fitzroy square, was charged before Mr Knox with assaulting Mrs Mary Ann Gray, of 49, Newman-street, Oxfcrd•street. Mrs Gray, who had a bad black eye, stated that on the previous evening she was at the house of her father, 4, Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, en alamode beef-house, when a person who was taking hs supper misconducted himself, being the worse for liquor. Her brother went to the door to look for a constable, when the defendant en tered, She asked the defendant, whether he wanted any refreshment and he said he did not, and she then told him there were quite enough persons in the place without him, and immediately afterwards the defendant gave her a blow in the eye• In answer to Mr Knox the complainant said she believed ;he defendant was intoxicated. The defendant wished to know if Mrs Gray had not seized him by the collar, and Mrs Gray said not till defen dant struck her. Her brother had also a black eye through a blow the defendant gave him. Mr Benjamin John Wolff said he resided with his father. On the previous evening there was a disturbance in the shop caused by a person who was intoxicated. He saw the defendant strike his sister and defended her as wall as ho could, and the defendant then struck him in the eye. Mr Wolff, who had also a bad black eye, said, in answer to a question, the defendant had been drinking, but knew what ho was about. Police constable Sharman, 35 E, proved taking defendant into custody, and that he was drunk. The defendant said that, hearing a disturbance, he went into the house, when Mrs Gray seizod him by the collar, end he pushed her away. _ _ Mr Knox said if the defendant wished him to believe that the black ey, Mrs Gray had got was caused by a push, he would at once tell him he did not believe him. Tho defendant said he had a wife and children. Mr Knox said he would not send the defendant to prison at once—though he considered his conduct_ in striking a female very dastardly and brutal—as it might ruin his wife and children. The defendant did not think so much of his children as he (,1r Knox) did. The only thing in the defendant's favour was that there was no premeditation. He would fine him 40s or 14 days. _ _ FICKI'OCKETS AT THE ILLEMINATIONS. — Four boys named George Hawkins, Henry Guming, John Skeen, and James Bryan, were charged before Mr Knox with picking pockets last night in Regent-street and Savile-row. Butcher, 137 C, and Dawson, 301 A, having given evi dence, Mr Knox remanded the prisoners, that the police might inquire as to the character of the boys. LITERATURE. TILE ST.

Francis Tredethlyn obtains a clue to the fate of his missing cousin Susan, and he also suffers himself to become entangled in an engagement with scheming Miss Desmond, with what result we shall see hereafter. "The Clerk of the Weather," without whose invaluable assistance English conversation would be at a standstill, supplies matter for a readable paper; and the lovers of the horrible w:11 find attraction in the fourth part of the " Records of an Old Police-court." Dr Scoffern, who generally finds something to say cn the topic of the day, gives his opinions on spirits and their manifestations. Wo hays also an inferestin p,per on no less a personage than Queen El z doeth, and , he con tinuation of Paul EC val's romance of " Working in the Dui k." COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—A engthened article o❑ " The Lieutenants-General of Police" opens this number, and to the reader un-. familiar with the underworking of the brilliant courts of the fourteenth and fifteenth Lewises, will be full of curious revelations. It is remarked at the outset that " the lieutenants-general of police played, up to the time of the French Revolution, a far more important part in the social, courtly, and political history of France than is generally imagined." Francis Jaws continues his "Vocal Exercises," or dissertation upon the character of the voice in many eminent men. Alexander Andrews, a careful and sensible writer, contributes a paper on " Cotton Possibilities," and enters very fully into the capacities of Central Africa, giving us emphatically the consoling assur ance that it is " capable of producing a great deal more cotton than Europe is ever likely to requite." " Wood bury," and " The Quest" proceeds as usual, and " Strath more.' is evidently advancing to a climax. It is not difficult t) foresee who is the spectre that i 4 to startle the happiness of the fair young bride. Nicholas Michell con.. tributes some graceful verses on the premature death o f the lamented Spoke. _ . BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—We have elsewhere noticed the introductory chapters of the Editor's new story, " Tho House of Seven Chimneys," which naturally occupies the foremost pages of this put. Dudley Costello continues his chronicle of the adventures of Signor Tomkins, and we have also a singular and not very pleasing story from the Dutch, called "The Twin Sisters of Malta." "The Chronicle of the Compleat Angler " is pleasanter to study by the fireside than by the running brooks this weather, and prudent men will follow the same principle in gathering the experiences of " A Gambling Tour." " Fontainebleau'' gives a sketch of some of the attractions of that world-famoui spot, and an article on " IheEra of LousXVI, and Marie Antoinette" is full of mournful interest. Francis Jacox takes for his text " Single-speech Soundpo3t," one of the three musicians who are hired to celebrated Juliet's nuptials, and whose eloquence is only recorded in the words "Faith I know not what to say." Ho preaches thereon a homily on the wisdom of occasional ignorance not altogether without a moral. THE ALEXANDRA MAGAZINE aid ENGLISH WOMAN'S JOURNAL.—The Alexandi a Magazine is now incorporated with its more dignified predeces sor, the Englishwoman's Journal, and both rerials have contributed their best features to the magazine in its present aspect. It con+ains a good deal of information connected with the subject of female employment, and is likely to afford valuable assistance to the cause both by cir cula'ing information and by engaging the interest of its readers. THE WORKING MEN'S CLUB AND INSTITUTE MAGAZINE.—Tais little serial is the organ of the Working Men's Club and Institute Union through out the country, and discusses all the principal topics connected with the mov,ment. There is a paper on the principle of co-operation applied to the establishment and maintenance of working men's clubs and institutes, and another entitled " How can Clubs be made Self-support ing ?`' showing how help may legitimately be given at the outset of any hopeful enterprise. THE JOURNAL OF BRITISH OPHTHALMOLOGY. No. 1. John Churchill.•—This is a new quarterly journal devoted to the consideration of the views and practice of English ophthalmic surgeons. There is at present no organ of the kind in the country, and it is likely to fill an important gap in our me dical literature. So difficult and delicate is this branch of surgery, its importance so great, and the opportunities of studying it in provincial distaicts are necessarily so limited that an authorised journal which shall record the experience of eye institutions and of leading metropolitan practitioners in new modes of treatment and operations, will be of the greatest service to the public. Reports of hospital and private cases will form part of every number, and the edi torship of Mr Jabez Hogg, assistant surgeon to the West minster Ophthalmic Hospital, is a guarantee for sound and accurate iuformation. THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE presents its usual amount of light reading, and considering the small sum expended in its purchase, no reader will have the right to complain that he has not been provided with an ample supply of amusement, and materials for recrea tion. Besides many stories, there are some verses met with of a romantic cast, and put forth in a flowing strain, in cluding :a sketch entitled " Unlawful Cures," which is interesting, and conveys some useful information. CASSELLS'S PUBLICATIONS• The Illustrated Bunyan, History of England, Shakspere, Gold smith, Natural History, Popular Educator, &o„ each fully maintain their usual excellence. The engravings are all 2seouted in the highest style of art. MISCELLANEOUS. THE BRITISH ARMY AND NAVY REVIEW this month is replete with information to the united service. Every Boy's Magazine is more than ordinarily attractive, and the Gallery of Geography will make a very fine volume on it s comp l et i on . Thorley's Farmer's Almanack we can re commend to ever y person engaged in agriculture. Naval and Military Intelligence. The paddlewheel steam sloop Baracouta, 6, Capt. D'Arcy, which arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday morning, left Jamaica September 26, Bermuda October 4, and Halifax on the 19th. She took her departure from Jamaica in consequence of the pre• valence of smallpox there, and proceeded to Bern muds, where she found the yellow fever raging. She therefore coaled and left the same day, convey. ing the crew of the serew gunboat Albacore and the healthy part of the crew of the iron floating battery Terror, Captain James F. B. Wainwright to Halifax'. Tie Birracouta has brcught home the officers and crew of the screw steam gunboat Cygnet, 5, Commander W. S. De K. , .lntz)u, pair off at Halifax, ar d five naval invalids, among whom is AQsist.-Surgeon J. E. Grigg, late of the paddle wheel storm sloop V_suriaF, 6, at Bermuda. She left at Jamaica the Aboukir, Shannon, Steady, Bulldog, and Roeario ; at Bermuda, the Terror and Albacore ; and at Halifax, the Duncan, Galatea, Cygnet, Steady, and Virago. Tho Liverpool .., • was at Vtra Crtz, and was expected to sail direct fur Eqgland on :he snivel of the Phaeton, which bad left Port Royal to relieve her. The Greyhound left Jamaica on the 21st September for England. The Jason is coming home with the crew of the Steady, paid off at llaiifex. The Barraccuta spoke inlat. 49 31 N , long. 32 E., on Sunday, Octobr 39, the screw steamer Pennsylvania; and en the 22J. of October a Cunard steamer, outward bound. During the prevalence of strong westerly winds she lost,her mainyard and sprung the maintopmast, Tae Barracouta called at Plymouth in consequence of being short of coal, and expected orders to pro , teed to Portsmouth to b 3 paid off, having been in commission since May, 1860. _ _ The paddlewheel steam store ship Dee, 1, Master Commander George Raymond, having shipped stores at the Devonport dcchyard, and embarked some seamen for conveyance to Portsmouth, was appointed to leave Plymouth on Tuesday afternoon. General Todleben finished his visit to Plymouth on Wednesday morning, when be left by the ex press train. Accompanied from Portsmouth by Colonel Gordon, C. 8., the General arrived on Satur. day last at Government•house, Mount Wise, and bccame the guest of Major General Hutchinson, the Commander of the Forces in the western dis- trict. Oa Sunday morning the General attended Divine service in the military church, and being much pressed for time, he proceeded in the after noon, accompanied by the General, by Col. Owen, C. 8., Commanding Royal Engineers, and by Capt. Co,S in charge of works. to inspect the north eastern defences of Plymouth. He inspected the forts at St. Budeaux, Crown-hill, and Efford, and expressed his unqualified approval of their struc ture. He entered very fully into all the professional points connected v,ith the subject, and looking at the natural features of the country, commended the sites selected for the various fortifications. On Monday morning, accompanied by the same officers, General Todleben inspected the fort at Tregantle, to the westward of Piymonth. Of this important work, which he examined minutely, he expressed himself in terms of high admiration. At the same time, suggestions for improvement were not with held. Returning eastward by the military road, the General ree.ched Cawsand, and there embarked on board the steam yacht Princess Alice, which conveyed him to the fort now erecting on Shovel Rock, just inside the Plymouth breakwater, and then to Bovisand, where he landed and proceed:d up the hill and took a cursory view of the progress of the fortifications on Staddon Heights. In the evening he was entertained at dinner by Admiral Sir Charles Fremantle, $.C.13., Commander-in• Chief at Davoaport. On Tuesday morning General Todleben was conveyed in General Hutchinson's barge to the gunnery ship Cambridge, Captain Charles S. F. Ewart, where he witnessed the artil- lery practice of the crew. He then landed at the Devonport dockyard, and was received by Rear- A itniral Superintendent Thomas M. C. Symonds, C. 8., Commander Martin, Master-Attendant, Mr. Moore, acting masters shipwright, and others, While here he saw at work a steam firesengine which threw a jet of water at the rate of 21- tons per minute to a height varying from 120 to 150 feet. Having taken luncheon with Admiral Sy monds, General - Todleben went from the dockyard to Keyham steamyard, round which he was con ducted by Mr. Miller, Chief Engineer, Captain Edmonstone, R N., and Mr Townshend, C.E. lie went on board the Achilles and Research and visited the various workshops. He then went on board the steamtug Scotia, which conveyed him to the Bull Point powder work?, and there obtained a full view of the Royal Albert Bridge at Saltash. He subsequently visited Mount Edgecumbe, and in the evening dined at Leigham-.terrace, Ply mouth, with Col. Owen, C. 8,, Commanding Royal Engineers. During his stay in the West General Todleben secured the esteem of all those whom he met; he exhibited a most extensive knowledge of his profession, and was completely open and candid in his communi3etions. It is understood that the General will leave the country for the south of Eu rope about the 20th inst., but that he will first visit Manchester and the midland counties. He has ac cepted invitations to dine at Rooms on the 11 , h inst. with the officers of the Engineers, and at a grand military dinner at Woolwich, which will take place, we believe, on Friday, the 181 h inst. The following appointments and promotions have been made at the Admiralty :—Commander Hon. E. G. L. Cochrane, to be Inspecting Commander in the Co ist Guard—VV. H.

DITAR RESTORED.—According to the Indu Pra kisch (or Moonlight), a native paper received by the last mail, the Government have resolved on restoring Dhar to its native ruler. "By this time," says the .21/oon/ig74, on the authority of its correspondent at Indere, "the joyous city rings with the tumult of the multitudes thanking their gods for this restoration of the State to their hereditary prince." It seems also duly grateful for the exertions of Lord Stanley and Mr John Dickinson, jun., in England. to whose efforts the restoration of Dhar to a native ruler is mainly to be attributed, BREAKFSST BEVERAGE.—Honco3vathic practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healtlif al of all beverages. When the doc trine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to be obt .fined no preparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied in the crude state or EO unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, Homoeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his at ention to this subject, and at length he succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. Dr. Hassall, in his work "adulteration of Food," says —" ocoa con ains a great variety of important nutritive principles every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a nutri tive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or ten." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined Ob., Ob., and 11b. labelled packets, a d sold by grocers, onieetioncrs, and chemists. [ADvT.] WESTMINSTER. THE ORGAN-GRINDING NUISANCE.-A gentleman re siding in the neighbourhood cf Eaton-place, solicited the magistrate to afford him all the assistance he could under the following circumstances : He stated that tor some time past he had been much an noyed by organmen playing continually in front cf his house, Under ordinary circumstances, the matter would have been perfectly unheeded, but applicant was unfortu nately suffering under a pah.fal malady, owing to which the annoyance of which he complained was intolerable. Mr Arnold—Have you applied to the police ? Applicant—l have, and have received every assistance from the Cottage-road station, but the police cannot always be :expected opposite my door, and the very instant their back is turned, some Italian with an organ takes his station and begins playing, and when the police are latched, they are gone, and are succeeded by others, and so the matter goes on. There is a difficulty in my particular case, arising out of the fact that these men are encouraged to play by an op posite neighbour. Mr Arnold—What proof have you of that ? Applicant—l saw the blind drawn up and heard the organ-man told to play on. Mr Arnold—So you know who it was that told hina to play on. Applicant—Yes, it was a lady, and she asked me why I interfered with her organ man. I pointed out the annoy ance it was to me, and remonstrated with the lady, when her husband became very angry and threatened to come out and horsewhip me. Mr Arnold—Where was he at the time of the threat ? Applicant—He was standing at the drawing• room win dow and I was in the street. Mr Arnold—You may take a peace summons against the gentleman for the threat. Applicant—How can the organ nuisance bo got rid of As in my state of health most intolerable ? Mr Arnold—Does your neighbour who encourages the organ men to play know that you are ill ? Applicant—Perfectly well aware of the fact. I pointed it out as my reason for not wishing the organs there. I said that they were a very great and intolerable annoyance to me. Mr Arnold—The organ grinder, as a street nuisance, is bound to move away from the neighbourhood of a person's house who is suffering from illness when desired, and if he refuses you can give him into custody. It you can prove that any neighbour, knowing that you are ill, encourages these organ men in playing at your house, you may have a summons to bring the party b Jure me, and I will dual with them for aiding and abetting in the commission of the offence. . . . ------ Applicant said he was much obliged to the magistrate THAMES. ETEALING COPPER FROM A SUIFYARD.--John Lawson a dock labourer, aged 32, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with stealing 5 lbs of composition metal which had been stripped from the bottom of a ship is Snooks' dry dock, Miawait. . Charles Abbott, a police-constable, No. 322 K, stated that yesterday evening he was on duty on the West Ferry road, Millwall, Poplar, when he saw the prisoner enter a private house which communicated with the shed of a marine store dealer. He entered a doorway in a side street and went into a shed, in which he found the prisoner on one side and a marine store dealer on the other. He seizel the prisoner and took from under his frock a sheet of old copper beaten up into the form of a breastplate, and in a shape to fit the front of his body. He asked the prisoner to account for the copper, and he said it was a little bit he picked up. He said—" Yes, you work at Mr Suooks's dry dock close by ?" To which ho replied in the affi,mutive. The dry dock was 100 yards from the marine storeshop. Tho value of the metal was 3s 61. He had been directed by his Inspector to watch the dry dock and yard and pre vent depredations on the property there. The prisoner, in defence, said he was very sorry for what he had done. He had to look atter the property in the shipyard—the copper (specially—and he picked up a little bit. Mr Partridge—How long has the prisoner been employed at Snooks' dry . doek ? The Prisoner—About one month. Mr Partridge—And you are plundering your employer, and convey the stolen property to a convenient receptacle near the premises of your employer. You are sentenced to 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour for the unlawful possession of the property. THE EXAMINATION OF THE CLIFTON STSPEN. slow BILIDGIE.—This bridge was on Monday officially exa mined by the Government authorities, accompanied by the engineers and staff of the company. The cffieials were per fectly satiklitd with the immense strength of the structure, and the 500 tons of stones with which the bridge had been tested are now in course of removal. MARKETS—This Day.

I SECOND EDITION. LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING.-WEDNESDAY, There was not much of importance on to-day's card with the exception of the Sefton Handicap end the Liverpool Nui Eery. The hurdle race, with which yesterday's proceedings commenced, was only notable for the discomfiture of Lord Uxbridge's warm favourite Marble Hill, who, though pull ing double all the way, seemed unable to get through his horses at the distance, and was out of it then and there. The Sefton, contrary to expectation, dwindled down from 34 coloured to a miserable quartet of very indifferent per formers, Welbeck being considered goed enough to brat his three opponents, which ho did with ridiculous ease. Usher having carried off the Selling Plate, and been bought in by his aoble owner for about, wo should think, the bOth time, a field of nine only ware telegraphed for the Nurser}, so it will be seen that the principal events showed a falling off from former years. Lion, the winner of the Knowsley yesterday, won like a racehorse to-day, carrying Sat 4113, and proved himself a first-rate enimal. The attend ance was somewhat more numerous to-day, and the weather favourable. A. Handicap Hurdle Race of 3 toys each, with 40 sous added ; winners extra.

Morocco, with a clear lead, made play, followed by Stan ton and Bowman, two or three lengths in whose rear came West End, the favourite, Ross, and Wild Duck, in the order we have given them, and in which way they ran pest the stand. Rounding the stable turn, Stanton got upon closer terms; Bowman, West End, and Marble Hill following next to the canal bridge turn, where Morocco gave way, and at the T.Y.C. post he was beaten, and gave way to Stanton, who was joined as they entered the straight by West End, Bowman, and Marble Hill, who cleared the hurdles together; but on reaching the distance the favou rite was beaten, and dropped back; Bowman at the same time took up the running over the next flight, but was caught half way up by Stanton on the inside and West End on the right, the three from this point running locked toge ther to the end, and finishing a fine race, West End, who got up in the list stride, winning by a head, Bowmen de feating Stanton by a neck for second; Ross finished fourth upon sufferance, Marble MU fifth, Morocco and Wild Duck did not pass the post.

Jupon, with Saccha rometer at his girths, got away in advance, but, after running some distance, they were headed by Birdfinder next the rails, close up with whom were Gipsy Girl, Prac titioner, and Kapunda. These positions were retained to the distance, where Saccharometer, in company with Prac titioner, headel again, drew towards the post, but as they neared the stand Grimshaw called upon the favourite, who quitted his horses without an effort, and won in a canter by a couple of lengths ; a length between the second and third, Practitioner defeating Kapunda by two lengths for third. Jupon was fifth, the Leamington filly sixth, and Lozenge next. Then came Alice, Gipsy Girl, and Oulton Lowe, the latter cf whom was left at the post, The Sefton Handicap of 5 soya each, with 100 added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Winners extra.

The trade report issued yesterday shows that 9,497 operatives are working full time, 592 five days per week. 1,954 four, 4,027 three, 631 two, and that 10,976 are entirely unemployed. The number of mills closed is 29. Last week, 11,314 opera tives were out of work, and 30 mills were closed. • Yes terdry, at the meeting of the Board of Guardians, it was I reported that in the union of Preston this week there are 3,078 cases, comprising 7,779 persons, who have been relieved, at a cost of £lBO 6s 61d, As compared with last week, these figures show an increase of 11 cases, 8 persons, and £2 16s 31d in the expenditure. This is the smallest increase which has taken place for several weeks. The Guardians have in their service 652 able bodied men, or 51 fewer than last week. Complaints are still made about the idleness of several of the parish labourers. In the different workhouses of the union there are 1,121 inmates. The Preston Relief Com.nittee, at their meeting on Monday night, resolved not to re-open the sew ing schools. Tho committee h ave now on their books 3,582 cases, comprising 9,562 persons. Inc:ease, as com pared with last week; cases, 23; persons, 120. THE EXTRAORDINARY CLAIM TO PROPERTY AT WIGAN.--The quiet possession of the Manor House, S c h o l ar , Wigan, h a ving apparently been assured for the present to the claimants from Durham, by the recent deci sion of the borough magistiates, the two men,Horrocks and Roe, have begun to take steps to obtain a hold upon the surrounding property. Behind the Manor House are a large number of cottages, none of the tenants of which have paid a farthing rent to the executors of Mr. Heaton, who have hitherto been considered the owners, since the seizure of the house by the new claimants. But this is not all, as notices have ken served upon the tenants of several landed proprietors in the neighbourhood,—Mr Lamb, Mr Danson, and Mr Foreman, —warning them to pay rent only to nor rocks. Two bailiffs yesterday entered the house of a person named Bernard, tenant to Mr Foreman, in Schofield-lane ' • but they were ejected by force. A warrant was, however, o bt a i n ed against the tenant Bernard, fo r assau l t i ng t h e bailiff in the execution of his duty. Another step the claim ants have taken is likely to prove a far nom.° serious one. In the street just mentioned, Schofield-lane, is a sand pit belonging to the executors of the late Roger Anderton,and this, which is alleged to be part of the property belonging to Horrocks, has now been forcibly taken possession of by a party of men acting under the directions of the two claimants. There was only one man at the place at the time, so that there was not much difficulty about the seizure. A bar was then placed across the entrance, and several pur chasers were bupplied with Sand by Roe, who also received the money. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

PLYMOUTH, Wednesday Morning.—The screw steam sloop (areyhound, 17, from the West Indies, arrived in the Sound this morning. A melancholy occurrence took place at Athy (Ireland) on Saturday night, which resulted in the death by fire of three persons, and the serious if not fatal injury of two others. A cabin in the outskirts of the town, containing seven petsors, took fire about midnight. As the roof was thatched with straw, it was soon a mass of flame. A brave fellow named Curry rushed into the flames, and, with the aid of his son, rescued five of the inmates. The other two escaped. Of the five saved three died before morning. Their bodies presented a terrible spectacle. THE POOR OF PARIS.—The Empress of the French, as patroness of the most important charities of Paris, has, through her private secretary, thanked Air Blanchard Jerrold for his studies of the poor of the French capital, under the title of " The Children of Lutetia." Mr Jerrold is now studying the charities and poor relief of Bel. glum and Holland. A remarkable case is being heard in the Master of the Rolls CJurt. It appears that a Mrs. Gedney, of Candlebby Hall, Lincolnshire, was in possession of pro perty which, if she had no children, passed to a gentleman named Smith and others. In. 1851 she was said to have been delivered of a girl in London. In 1857 sho died, and then her husband was told that the child was not that of his wife, but that Mrs Gedney had come up to London and induced a Dr. Goss and his wife to procure a new-born baby from a lying-in hospital. She went through the form of a confinement, and afterwards passed eff the child thus obtained as her own. Some very remarkable evidence was given against the plaintiff. The case is not yet finished. DASTARDLY OUTRAGE. —On Monday night an outrage, happily of rare occurrence in our country, took place at Dunbog Manse, which, though attended with much damage to property, was happily unaccompanied by loss of life. It appears that the iron bash of a cart wheel, tightly plugged up at both ends with wood, in one of which a hole had been drided, through which it had been filled w i t h gunpowder, with a f use i nse rted—thus forming a two' ' throughhe o b f u st them ehbmeu ceiling,r passeds t into otfhDeud spreadinginnbiong: -Mrionaonmaslelw,daiinnreddcotfiNivor,endasn.;d grenade—had been placed within a foot of the new oriel splinters,w through do w lodging in the fluor of the room above; another passed up through the drawing-room. The whole of the plate-glass in the dining. room (valued at £11) was blown to a fine pow - der, while the whole glass of the study and pantry windows and fanlight of the door was broken. Fortunately Mr Edgar was from home, and his housekeeper had recently gone over to Mr Baltinghall, Danbog. The police are buy investigating the case.— Dundee Adeetiker. M. Fitury, a gentleman residing in the Limousin, a district' of the Haute-Vienne, having reed of the plan adopted by Bombonnel, the panther-killer in Algerii, of attaching a goat to a stake as a bait, determined to try a similar mancouvre to destroy the wolves which abound near his holm. Taking advantage of a fine moonlight night, and accompanied by a friend, M. Fleury placed himself in ambush behind a stack, at about 15 yards from which he attached a goat to a stake. After waiting Er some time an enormous wolf coming from a thicket on the edge of the field Etv on the goat and immediately rtceived a ball which passed through its neck. The animal gave a loud howl and fell, and M. Fleury was about rushing to wards it when it again rose, and two mere shots were neces sary Lefore the animal was fimily dcsratched. It was a large female weighing 741 b. 11 I
